Hey All,
A dear friend of mine will be moderating a meeting consisting of a lot of "big-wigs" from the Michigan DOT and the FHWA Michigan Division office and would like some transportation- or highway-related jokes or other humor as ice-breakers to use here and there throughout the day-long meeting. I was also asked to prepare a list of 10 fun/interesting trivia questions about Michigan's highways, but I've got that covered. I'm a bit stumped, though, on transportation- or highway-related jokes. I'm hoping you guys can help me with that part. Any contributions are welcome!!
Thanks in advance,
Chris

A man coming from a farmer's market in the U.P. hits a pothole, blows a tire out, and is stranded on the side of the road.
He then says, "I should've bought asparagus."
You can probably make the story of Colorado's mile marker 419.99 into a paragraph-long joke, especially as it actually exists.
Polling often shows that most drivers believe they are above average. A way to test that is to look at how many drivers are over the median.
When is a car not a car?
When it turns into a driveway!
Hope the jokes aren't as salty as the roads.
Might suggest a thread merge with the other one, in which I posted about a band of highway-related folks that calls itself Phil 'n The Potholes.

Or do an audience participation segment and ask the age-old question "Why do you park on a driveway and drive on a parkway?"

Or, as Gallagher once pointed out, you have a pair of panties, but just one bra.

Of course, if this were a logical world, it would be the
men who rode side-saddle.

His joke about "why are they cowboys? Cows are girls and bulls are boys" is stupid, since "cowboy" is just the English translation of the Spanish "vaquero."
"Why did the chicken cross the road?" jokes should have some usable material.
Now to see what kind of punchlines we can come up with...
"Because the chicken had the right permit!".

This is my favorite geography-related xkcd even if it's not transportation-related.
